What Are Large-Cap Mutual Funds?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Large-cap mutual funds are schemes that invest in large-cap stocks, which are basically the stocks of well-established companies that are usually industry leaders with strong balance sheets. According to the SEBI guidelines, large-cap mutual funds must allocate at least 80% of their investment in equity and related investments of large-cap companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How We Selected These Funds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We started by identifying large-cap mutual funds from the SEBI-defined large-cap equity category. These funds (Direct Plan\u2013Growth) were then ranked based on their 5-year CAGR using data from Groww. To identify true outperformers, each fund\u2019s performance was compared against its respective benchmark fund and the large-cap equity category average using Value Research data. All figures are based on the latest available period and are used purely for comparative and educational analysis. (Data as of February 18, 2026)<\/p>
